ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The perspective drawings in this book have been done by James E. Snook. He prepared these drawings from simple "line drawings" I had made. Since I did not have the expertise to make the more complicated type of drawing, he consented to do them for me. They give a much better picture of the buildings. His help is much appreciated.
